Candy Spelling is back at it again with the whole “open letter on a public forum to people she has no business talking to” thing, but at this point, it’s what we love her for. Unfortunately, Mama Spelling is once again taking digs at her more or less estranged daughter Tori, referring to her as, amoungst other things, a middle aged reality star. Ouch, right? And that’s one of her more tame remarks.
The letter, which was originally sent to and published by TMZ, reads as follows:
EXCLUSIVE TO: TMZ.COM
TO: MIDDLE-AGED REALITY SHOW STARS (LIKE MY DAUGHTER)
FROM: CANDY SPELLINGI Know many middle-aged people have issues about their parents and their upbringing. I did. My memories didn’t match all those of my mother, and, funny thing, it’s the same way with my daughter.
Life has consequences. What you say is on the record. Other people have feelings.
I have a vested interest in this subject. My daughter, Tori’s, two-part season finale revolves around my granddaughter’s first birthday party and how she has made what seems like an agonizing decision to invite me.
Cue music. Cue sideways glaces. Clue Lights.
I did get an invitation just in time for the RSVP deadline. I’m sure its delivery will be on next week’s episode with some comment about my house or driveway or street or something they won’t like. I wonder if that will be spread out over one part or two. Sigh.
A big party wasn’t how I envisioned meeting my granddaughter for the first time; but, hey, this is Hollywood, and my grandchildren have become reality show props, too. At the time I emailed “yes,” I didn’t realize I was being set up for a two-parter, even though it was clear I was being invited to be part of a segment for my daughter’s reality show.
Spoiler alert. Don’t read this if you plan to sit through an hour of people looking at their watches and saying “she’s late.” I decided my first meeting with my granddaughter should be on home video, not primetime cable; so I emailed that i would not be attending.
Back to other reality stars. My husband taught me that the plots have to be fresh and updated. The same old whining gets tired after a while. Enough complaining about what may or may not have happened during first grade or YMCA camp, or what vegetable you were forced to endure, especially when you are privileged enough to be on TV and get paid for it.
For all the reality show personalities, please remember that real life doesn’t get edited to make things better or worse or get better ratings.
You’re responsible for what you do. Life isn’t just a show. And your families can’t just be props. Make your own season finale without creating conflicts you will regret later.
While Candy does kinda sorta have a point, her public wrist slaps seem reminiscent of a plot line out of one of her late husband’s programs. Seems like this whole family has an unreasonable flair for dramatics. And as long as they keep doing it publicly enough for us to enjoy it, I can’t complain.
Has her face ALWAYS been as long as your arm and as wide as your torso and hips?
her* arm; her* torso and hips
When you are an evil person who delights in publicly humiliating your daughter I suppose you do know why you’ve never seen one of your grandkids ever, and have no relationship with them or any hope of a relationship in the future. I think Candy thinks she’s embarrassing Tori into giving in to Candy’s demands. It’s not going to happen, if anything I suspect these public missives set her back but she’d rather hurt Tori than love her grandkids, so Candy wins!
She’s unloved, unwanted, and unknown to her own granchildren. Kudos Candy, another job well done. Loneliness suits Candy. Yes, you were only asked to make it “good tv” why did you ever think otherwise? The rest of the world figured that out, did you think it wasn’t lost on the public your own daughter hates you? She does, even if Candy had shown up, the child would have been whisked away. Tori doesn’t want you in her kids lives, or you’d be involved already.
I love watching Tori and Dean, and think they’re great. That said, if Tori REALLY wants her mom in her kids’ lives, like she’s constantly whining about, do it privately without the cameras. It makes me wonder how genuine her wish is to get back with her mom if she’s not willing to do that.
Maybe she just wants the safety of witnesses!
hehe
Tori whines about her kids not having their grandma all the time. How long is she going to hold this grudge? It is true that her mom fuels the fire, but so does she. Candy seems to be doing it because she is desperate for a relationship with her daughter and grandchildren, while Tori seems to be doing it for money and sympathy.
I bet good money Candy Spelling would have her own reality show if someone was interested in watching “old ladies bitch and moan” as the theme.
Obviously she has no friends. She sat in that big house on the hill and harped endlessly to her husband all those years… and now there is no one around who will put up with her.
My first thought was “what ever happened to parental unconditional love and support?” Boo hoo. Her daughter has a stable income, a loving husband, two happy children. She extended an invitation to her estranged mother, and her mom throws it back in her face. PUBLICLY. I have nothing but bad feelings toward Candy Spelling.
Tori should be grateful for these public scoldings; it keeps her in the headlines. otherwise it would be like… whatever happened to the girl who played donna?
Candy is a fucking bitch and is probably a heavy drinker. That’s one awful parent to constantly talk shit about her own child to the media.
Shan, my thoughts exactly! I thought, here goes old Candy drunk typing…again… As far as Tori speaking about the feud with her Mom, I always thought she should just keep quiet, and let her Mom just hang herself. But, like anyone who is deeply hurt by someone, we tend to harp on our hurt. Candy is a bitter old harpie twat.
